Hilton Garden Inn Gulfport Airport
14108 Airport Rd, Gulfport, MS 39503
Just off I-10 and Highway 49 on Airport Road, minutes from the Port of Gulfport, the Gulfport Seabee Base, and Prime Outlets, with the beach a five-minute drive away.
Getting There
This Hilton Garden Inn sits on Airport Rd almost directly across from Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, which is exactly the point. Book it for a 6 a.m. flight and you can roll out of bed with time to spare, thanks to a complimentary shuttle guests describe as fast and on schedule. It works well for a business trip or a one-night layover before or after a longer Gulf Coast stay. What it isn't is a beach hotel: the sand at Gulfport Beach is a 10 to 15 minute drive south, so plan on driving, not walking, once you're ready for the water.
Rooms & Amenities
Rooms run standard Hilton Garden Inn: clean and quiet rather than flashy, and reviewers keep noting that the beds sleep well and the planes next door are barely noticeable. The outdoor pool and fitness center cover the basics, and pet owners can bring the dog along without hunting for a workaround. Garden Grille and Bar handles breakfast and dinner on site — one recent guest singled out the salmon Caesar salad, and several called the staff some of the friendliest on the coast, which matters after a delayed flight. Can't make dinner service? The 24-hour Pavilion Pantry covers snacks and drinks at 2 a.m. Free WiFi and free parking round it out, and at roughly $118 to $172 a night, it's priced like the practical stopover it's built to be.
What's Nearby
Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport is close enough to see from the parking lot, and Highway 49 does the rest of the work. Shrimp Basket and Hibachi Express are both a few minutes down the road for a fast po'boy or a hibachi plate, and Gulfport Premium Outlets sits just off Highway 49 at exit 34A if you've got a layover to kill. For a real dinner, downtown Gulfport's restaurant row — Half Shell Oyster House, The Rack House Steaks — is about a 15-minute drive, and the Biloxi casinos and beach are roughly 20 minutes east on US-90.
Our Take
This isn't a hotel to plan a vacation around; it's a hotel that makes the logistics of one easier. Guests keep landing on the same two words in reviews — clean and friendly — with the front desk and restaurant staff earning most of the praise, and an 853-review average holding steady at 4.4 out of 5. Book it for an early departure, a late arrival, or a work trip to the coast. For a beachfront stay, look toward Biloxi instead.
